The Byron Buzz

The 2023-24 school year has come and gone. I want to congratulate the 163 seniors who have worked hard and persevered and will be moving on to the next chapter of their lives. They will be great representatives of Byron in the world and I am excited about the positives impacts that these students are going to make. I also want to congratulate those students who are not seniors and made it through another year. Our hallways are full of creativity amd energy because so many of our students come every day to learn and be challenged. They deserve a great summer break to re-energize for next year.

Our staff also deserves a great summer break to re-energize. Every day they arrive at work to make a difference in a child's life. Some of their work gets recognized but the majority goes on behind the scenes and it is this work that can really make a difference. Staff work with many kids throughout the year to prepare them for the next level but don't always see the great results of their work. I also want to thank the parents for your support and partnerships with our staff as we work to help your students and family find success throughout the year. I hope everyone has a terrific summer break and finds the time to enjoy friends, family and re-energize.

Go Bears!

The Profile of a Graduate is the model we use to live out the District's Strategic Plan on a daily basis. It has been 6 years since we first implemented the Profile of a Graduate and we continue to find ways to teach the six Cs: Creativity, Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Citizenship, and Character.
